75 Men in 75 Days

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands is reaching out to recruit 75 men in the next 75 days. With a waiting list of 90 boys between the ages of 7-14 who are ready to be matched with a Big Brother or a Big Couple, it's imperative to locate mentors to help them succeed in life. Big Brothers hang out, take in a movie, help with homework, play catch or a video game. They are regular guys, 18 years and older, who volunteer 2-4 times per month.

Men are encouraged to take the first step and learn about being matched with a Little Brother. Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands is hosting two FREE recruitment events where potential Big Brothers will be able to talk to our current Big Brothers and learn about volunteering first-hand.
